i had a dream
That the wealthy in New Zealand rose up and demanded the govt stopped pampering them and giving them the best tax regime in the entire world (FACT) and started to demand equality for those at the bottom of our society.
They've prospered beyond their wildest dreams in the past 15+ years and have finally said enough.... "we don't want to live in a country that treats its underclass with such contempt" was the rallying cry.
I awoke in a cold sweat and fired off an email to Fran Sullivan demanding she write a column chastising the rich for being xenophobic trators
We must protect the very rich individuals and corporate entities right to buy that which we can't afford ourselves... and if the rich won't spearhead that call themselves its up to their lapdogs
peace was restored
I may never sleep again

Dread
Today I'll be reading about the experiences and reality that so many have endured and continue to face in and around Christchurch due to today being the anniversary of last years big shake.
As ever it's going to be tough to hold back the tears as I confronted by life in my hometown.
I'm proud that my work has helped raise funds and support some whom are there but also acutely aware I want to do more, to somehow fix the unfixable. To mend the hearts and minds of those who have suffered so much.
Somedays I wish I had a Faith as I can see how those that do can lean upon that as a means to cope.
Peace, unity and strength to those who've shown countless times what it is to be human in a place and time of chaos.
*silence*

Musical adventures
In Wellington today
Can't wait to hear some good tunes, drink too much and to howl at the moon
Lookout!

Tired
So so so tired
But I has the coffee
And the coffee
And the coffee
And maybe one more
Not a bouncy boy today
Which is sad as its puddles on the street day
Maybe a coffee to takeaway on the way to school
*insert boggley eyes*

for some of us
moving house is very very stressful and an almost unsurmountable task
the allure of the cardboard fort is strong
perhaps if I called squatters rights and defended the place hard I won't have to move
on a serious note - looking for a decent afforadble rental in auckland currently - worst time ever
